Five lacrosse players from SIU made the trip down to Houston to help out with the victims from hurricane Harvey. These students collected supplies outside of the college of business the day before they went down. They took a box truck and a personal car full of supplies. When they reached Houston they found Smarty Pants Academy, a school for special needs children, that needed supplies for their school as well as the families that go to the school. After assisting Smartypants, the following day they went to go assist in the Demolition of houses affected by the flooding. They ended the trip with a visit to the Univeristy of Houston’s Lacrosse house where they met with a few of the players from U of H and donated extra gear they brought down. We are extremely proud to have these men on our team! Thank you to, Greg Morris, Jack Myrna, Anthony Turzynski, Kurt Sanders, and David McCauley.

Following the link will bring you to a google drive with pictures from their trip.

The SIU Men’s Lacrosse club has moved conferences within the MCLA, for the 2018 season they will be apart of the Lone Star Alliance. The move was prompted by the D1 teams in the GRLC moving to the UMLC leaving no AQ to nationals with the GRLC. All of the D2 teams from the GRLC have also went to the LSA creating another sub-division within the LSA. The Saluki’s were ranked 18 out of the 27 teams in the coaches preseason poll.
